So, I've read some really good things about a vitamin C a day for a doe can keep mastitis away... So yesterday I bought 500 chewable orange tablets from Costco for 12 bucks. I put half in the house and half in the barn. I have 4 does, Daisie is due any day, and she doesn't like new things much, but once she finished her grain, I noticed the C still in the feeder, so I opened her mouth put it in, and she chewed and swallowed, then the stinker was pushing up against me wanting more
Rosie, my girl that didn't get preggo this season, due to copper deficiency (now corrected) she ate it right up. Even though she's not in milk I think it's good for her. Peppermint, due today, can't wait to meet the kiddos, she lapped it right up... And then there is my stinker milk goat Patti... She fought me until she realized oh this isn't bad...
Hopefully this will all help with mastitis issues...
Does anyone know if it's good for the bucks and wethers too?
